Try:

private:
     sf::RenderWindow window = sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Test");

Window / Re: Aspect ratio confusion

« on: September 28, 2016, 03:19:00 pm »

You can use sf::View:

sf::View view( you fixed aspect ratio size );
window.setView(view);

The last thing to do is to think what will you do with the extra space which will remain on the different aspect ratio screens. I met this problem when working on mobile applications: maybe will help you.

General discussions / Re: Learning OpenGL with SFML

« on: September 28, 2016, 02:57:37 pm »

1. Yes, you can use SFML's window & system modules with raw OpenGL, but I'm not sure about graphics module.
3. I'm also learning OpenGL and here are some good lessons: http://learnopengl.com/ and https://open.gl/. (if you wants learn by creating a game you can watch ThinMatrix's series, but they are in Java( pretty easy to translate to C++), but is a good series for beginners).
4. I'm not sure, but from what I know this does not depend on the OS, but the gpu drivers.

I also use GLEW and not the SFML's GL header.

Just don't use -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++ if you don't need them statically linked. And I want to say that installing(building) SFML is very easy: just cmake && make.

If you are using MinGW then you can use: mingw32-make

If you have a lot of rectangles to test against, and the rectangles are all over the screen you could use a quad tree.

Maybe use some debug tools and maybe post a complete and minimal code.

I don't know if I'm correctly in what I will say but what if the client need more than Timeout to connect to the server?

Reminds me of Settlers of Catan(which I did for a school project a long time ago )

Indeed is Settlers of Catan, the new pc version from the company is terrible and I thought it would be a interesting multiplayer project to make. Still need to read about the copyrights about it.

It would be nice if you could separate in modules the library, like SFML. For my game I want just to use the ResourceManager. Anyway, nice ResourceManager implementation.

SFML projects / Re: SFNUL

« on: December 17, 2015, 03:18:04 pm »

Thanks for help. One more question: how can I debug the code: I want to say that SFML would return a Status and I would check if the command executed was successfully or not and from what I see in SFNUL the functions return nothing( maybe because they run in thread and do not execute immediately).
